IAN: But here's the paradox creeping back:
If "A" = "to denote A" and if to denote A
is to denote -A by implication, then A = -A.

If the external area immediatley around this
letter A is equal to the internal area in the
formation of that letter, then the letter is
equally BOTH of those areas, and thus A = -A.
That masters the very "edge" of the paradox.

I think I talk to myself almost as much as
I talk to others here. Hay, I keep an eye on
me, it's tough job but someone's got to do it! %^)
